Do you know something we don't? I mean, the Kennedys - that's common knowledge, but British aristocracy as well? Is CPB and family part of British aristocracy, not what I would call them  |

Sir Cameron Mackintosh. Born: October 17, 1946 (age 70), London Borough of Enfield
Probably the greatest theatre producer/impresario this country has ever produced giving us such memorable productions as Les Mis and a reworking of Phantom
Apparently he was taken to see a pantomime/show as a child and knew from that visit what he wanted to do

Ted V. Mikels (born Theodore Mikacevich; April 29, 1929 – October 16, 2016) was an American independent filmmaker primarily known for his horror movies such as The Astro-Zombies and The Corpse Grinders, although he also directed cult action-exploitation movies such as Girl in Gold Boots (1968) and The Doll Squad (1973).  I've not seen any of his films - they seem a bit Troma-ish to me, and I can't stick those - but he did have some great titles:   (Actually, I might try this last one: it's about finding food for fussy cats.) |
